In a Rut.. Need help...

<p>Okay guys heres the dealio, my cousin and i would like to go to the same college, problem is, she wasnts to major in art, like drawing and junk like that,(she knows, but im not sure what it is), and i want to major in english. We both want to stay in TX if at all possible, but I really want a big spirit, football school. The only one i have been able to find is UT Austin, which isnt an option due to family opinions. Am i stupid and just overlooking schools that fit this, or does one not exist?</p>

<p>Family opinions? The joy of letting football rivalries override the possibility of an excellent education. Some other schools to consider (the following have good art and English programs and have plenty of school spirit and great athletics):</p>

<p>Arizona State University
Clemson University
Florida State University
Indiana University Bloomington
Kansas State University
Ohio State University
Penn State University Park
Rutgers New Brunswick
Syracuse University
UCLA
University of Alabama
University of Connecticut
University of Florida
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
University of Iowa
University of Kansas
University of Kentucky
University of Maryland - College Park
University of Massachusetts - Amherst
University of Michigan
University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
University of Mississippi
University of Missouri: Columbia
University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
University of Notre Dame
University of Oklahoma
University of Oregon
University of South Carolina
University of Southern California
University of Utah
University of Wisconsin - Madison
West Virginia University</p>

<p>yea, i love family too, they are still mad im choosing not to go to A&M so i can go to school with my cousin, i dont think i should push my luck, seeing how they do pay the bills… thanks for the list</p>

<p>of the schools above, USC, Michigan, Syracuse, Indiana, and UCLA have paticularly good art programs</p>

<p>dunno about art, but U of Iowa has one of the best english departments in the nation and the football team is consistently ranked highly and the fans go nuts! My dad went there and we go to a game at Kinnick every year. 70,000 fans at every game and a rowdy student section, it’s a blast.</p>

<p>If you’re interested in art and English, Rutgers would be a smart place to consider… the Mason Gross School of Art (<a href=“http://www.masongross.rutgers.edu/index_flash.html[/url]”>http://www.masongross.rutgers.edu/index_flash.html&lt;/a&gt;) is really quite good and the English department is ranked 18th in the nation (tied with Texas and Northwestern). We also have the football craze going on right now, of course…</p>
